Kolkata/Dublin singer-songwriter Debajyoti Biswas has always been attracted to rock music and cites the likes of Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Coldplay and John Mayer as inspirations. He says, “I picked up the guitar at the age of 14 and started performing in school fests and local musical events as the lead vocalist of my school band.” After releasing music with his previous band Jagged Krystal, Biswas branched out as a solo performer and released his nine-track full-length debut album Nexus of Dreams in 2019 and followed that with a single called “Heaven” in 2021.
Now, the musician is out with a new five-track EP entitled Changing. The record has been in the works for the last three years and Biswas tapped producer Abhibroto Mitra to help bring the songs to life. “He [Mitra] breathed life into the arrangements of the songs. That’s when it all came together in the form of an EP.”
Changing opens with the reflective title track before we hear the piano-aided “Daydreamer.” The mid-record song is the rock ballad “Fly” followed by the EP’s penultimate track, the poignant “Falling.” The EP closes with the optimistic “Free.” Talking about the EP, Biswas says, “Changing is a reflection on coping with change, which can be overwhelming sometimes. The EP navigates an inward journey to gather the broken pieces and start over again. The lyrics of the EP blend feelings of loneliness, heartbreak and self-discovery with an undertone of hope.”
Sonically, the record includes softer rock tones and tranquil soundscapes as well as pop-rock elements. “I feel the words and tunes of this EP will build a connection with listeners, remind them to embrace their vulnerabilities and find hope in the darkest of times,” says Biswas.
Currently, Biswas is working on a follow-up five-track EP called Finding Myself. The singer-songwriter plans on releasing the next record as singles over the next few months while also plotting to perform live while he’s in Europe. He says, “I also look forward to collaborating with other artists and growing as a musician.”
